Flu clinics for eligible patients are available through the month of September and October. Please call reception to book an appointment.
Appointments
All surgeries and clinics are by same day appointment only. Exceptionally, urgent cases will be seen without an appointment. Surgeries are held each morning and evening, Monday to Friday, except Thursday afternoons. If you wish to discuss more than one problem, please ask reception about booking a double appointment.
Doctor Appointments and Cancellations
To help us offer a wide range of appointment times please help us by informing us in good time if you are unable to keep an appointment, thereby enabling us to offer the appointment to someone else.
A small number of appointments are reserved each day for those patients who have a more urgent need to see a doctor. These appointments are not intended for ongoing medical problems and cannot be booked before the day. Please ensure these are used only for a true medical emergency.
Telephone Calls
A consultation service is available, whereby details are taken by a receptionist and a doctor will call back later in the morning. If the doctor then thinks the patient needs to be seen, an appointment, or a home visit will be arranged with the doctor or a nurse. Phone lines are open continuously from 8:30 – 18:00. Please try to telephone in the mornings, so that we have time to sort out any problems the same day.
Physiotherapy service
You can book a telephone consultation without seeing a GP or any long standing musculoskeletal condition or pain associated with joint, muscle or nerve, back pain, sciatica or arthritis with our Physiotherapy service at Barnsley Road Surgery.
Nurse Appointments
Routine ten-minute appointments are available with a nurse at various times throughout the day. Demand for some appointment times can be high and you are advised to book in advance. Please inform the receptionist of the reason you wish to see the Nurse at the time of booking, to ensure that adequate time is allowed for your appointment.
Our nurse is happy to provide first-aid and advice on injuries and may also be consulted on:
- General health checks
- Blood pressure checks

- Women's health, including cervical smears
